So the OMN1S wasn't his first signature sneaker?

Those are really nice. Reminds me a lot of the Dame Lillard 2s:

note the logo on the tongue. maybe the OMN1S was a stopgap while they waited for the result of the Nike lawsuit. he didn’t get his logo back it seems

 

[Kinfolk]

They're doing the super limited crap again?

Pass.

These are ugly as hell and look like a Lillard rip off.

I wonder what gives NB the impression that there is extraordinary interest in the kawhi line to the point where they make every release hyper limited?

By the time fall rolls around and maybe a wider release happens, people will be more interested in whatever Nike decides to do with the Kobe line, Lebron 18's, Kyrie 7's etc.

I'm good on NB hoops.

They don't look bad. And if they're wide food friendly, I'm in for a pair.

 

[rafbuddy]

The omn1s were so nice compared to these. It was such a well thought out design. These have no form to them like yeesh.

 

[jaynev]

I can see the Lillard 2 inspiration a bit w the shape and heel

I like em though. Look great in foot andfor some cool tech going on - heel pad and such.

 

[jaynev]

I think that’s his laugh that’s printed on the side there as a vocal scale or whatever

It's a shoe, not Dr. Dre's Studio Lobby

i dont see it

 

[tigo0240]

nah...as of now the OMN1S still look nicer.

 

[suchafraud23]

Where the low top omn1s

 

[solidgoldplayer]

I don't like the new pattern on the upper

Agreed. I've only seen two colors with the new pattern, and I greatly dislike both of them, because of the pattern.

omn1 is not and never was a signature shoe. it's just a basketball shoe.

 

[fabripav]

we're in Lillard 2 rip-off territory imo

 

[rafbuddy]

Sneaker looks like a block of LEGO

 

[noblekane]

might look better in a better colorway

new balance makes good ball shoes so these will most likely be beast on court

 

[rafbuddy]

omn1 is not and never was a signature shoe. it's just a basketball shoe.

but it was a great lookin shoe and he wore a lot of dope colorways

 

[illhistorical]

omn1 is not and never was a signature shoe. it's just a basketball shoe.

The TV ad said something like "this is his car, this is his shoe". Sounded like a semi-signature shoe to me, like how the Zoom Huarache 2K4 wasn't really Kobe's signature shoe.

wasnt the 2k4 supposed to be kobes shoe? i remember the original non released version had an 8 ball on the side but they changed it because it was still a sensitive time after the rape case.

 

[noblekane]

also the omn1 absolutely counts as a koala sig shoe. who else wears it besides him?

just like back in the days when we would say those the new barkleys? and it was the air force max. or the tim hardaways were the air raids. the michael changs were the reebok court victory pumps and so on.

Dejounte Murray, Darius bazely. I think marquis chriss wore them too

 

[sooperhooper]

I need to see a different version. That one is all over the place. Remind me of aj7.

Correct. I saw those pics. Might have been pics of fakes, though.

The 2K5s and Hyperdunk was also treated like his semi-signature shoes.

I'm going to call the OMN1s Kawhi's semi-signature shoe that other NB players also wore.

Those are really nice. Reminds me a lot of the Dame Lillard 2s:

OMN1 was always New Balance’s signature shoe. Similar to the Hyperdunk as mentioned above.
The new dog gives me more Rose 1 vibes than Lillard.
